Before revision: In mechanical engineering , a funicular polygon is a graphic method of finding out the line of action for a combination of forces applied to a solid body at different points, a complement to the force polygon used to obtain the value and direction of the resultant force.
After revision: In graphic statics , a funicular polygon is a graphic method of finding out the line of action for a combination of forces applied to a solid body at different points, a complement to the force polygon used to obtain the value and direction of the resultant force.
