Adds or subtracts from the amount of force(PSI).
1st order levers have the fulcrum between the load and effort arms. The mechanical advantage of these levers can be greater or less than 1, depending on the length of the arms.2nd order levers have the load portion between the effort portion and the fulcrum. These always have a mechanical advantage greater than 1. They increase the force exerted at the expense of distance.3rd order levers have the effort portion between the load portion and the fulcrum. These always have a mechanical advantage less than 1. They decrease the force exerted with a gain to the distance.
how does moving a fulcrum on a lever change the amount of force needed to move an object
Depends on the job at hand. The most common use is to multiply force so you can move something that weighs more than you can lift on your own. In doing this you give up distance. Place the lever and fulcrum so that the fulcrum is close to the 'load'. When you push on the long end of the lever it moves a long distance with a small effort, The load will be lifted a shorter distance.
Distance is the amount of space between two designated locations.

indirect relationship
There is no direct relationship between distance and time. Two airplanescan easily cover very different distances in the same amount of time.There can be an indirect relationship, that depends on speed.
According to Archimedes, the principles of the lever include the Law of the Lever and the Principle of Virtual Work. The Law of the Lever states that the product of the weight being lifted and its distance from the fulcrum is equal to the product of the weight applied to the other end and its distance from the fulcrum. The Principle of Virtual Work states that if a lever is balanced and one side is moved along a circular arc, the distances of the weight and the weight applied to the other end from the fulcrum are inversely proportional to their magnitudes.
Understand that there is no relationship between the amount of steering required and the distance you are from the object

Capacity is the maximum amount that something can contain. Distance is an amount of space between two things.
To do this you first have to calculate your ideal mechanical advantage (IMA). The IMA is equal to the effort distance (the distance from the fulcrum to where you will apply the effort) divided by the load distance (the distance from the fulcrum to the load). You can then set your IMA equal to your acutal mechanical advatage (AMA) which assumes 100% efficiency. The AMA is equal to the load force (the weight of what you are lifting) divided by the effort force (the # you are looking for). So, for example, if your IMA is 5 and your load force is 500 lbs: 5=500/effort force. Therefore the effort force would be 100 pounds.
