f all the forces originally distributed along the cord, atthe points p^ip^i &c. the directions of these forces being preserved. From all this it follows then, that for the funicular polygon toexist, the intensity and directions of the several forces acting at theknots, must be such, that if… … FUNICULAR POLYGON. 35 certain what would be the direction and intensity of the resultant ofall the forces acting on the n—1 preceding knots, if they were allto concur. It thus appears, that in the funicular polygon the conditions ofequilibrium are the very same as if the forces all concurred, or…
