I couldn't tell you exactly without researching and looking up the formulas, it is just a matter of physics though.
There is a white paper available here -->> Evaluation and Experimental Validation of Steering Efforts Considering Tire Static Friction Torque and Suspension and Steering Systems Characteristics
Also, you can do your own calculations by using the formulas here -->> The Feynman Lectures on Physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

- 1979 Jeep CJ5 with 304 V8, T18 Transmission, Dana 20 Transfer case with TeraLow 3:1 gears, 4.88 axle gears, Detroit Locker up front and Ox Locker in back with 1 piece axle shafts, 36" SuperSwamper SX Tires, Shackle reversal, MileMarker Hydraulic winch, MSD 6A ignition.
The steering effort depends on too many factors such as speed, terrain, tire size. Manual steering is a pain at low speeds or off-road but on the highway the difference isn't noticeable.
Now the steering ratio is a much more exact figure. It can tell you how quick the steering is.
Can I ask why you want to measure the steering effort?
