During a recent trip to Mexico, I bought a pot that I
would like to hang in my front window. The problem is
that the pot is heavier than I thought it would be when I
was negotiating with the vendor. I haven't weighed it,
but I make it out to be about 25 pounds. Add the weight
of the plant, the water, the mix, etc, and it gets pretty
heavy.

So, I've been thinking. What if I distribute the weight?

I could hang it off a hook and anchor it to the window
sill. By my logic, half the weight would go to one place,
the other half would go to the other place.

Am I wrong?

I also don't know whether it makes any difference how high
the anchor is. I used to know these rules, but I have
forgotten them.
