We introduce the f-crucial function Crucialf associated to a rational function f∈ K(z) of degree >1 over an algebraically closed field K of possibly positive characteristic that is complete with respect to a non-trivial and non-archimedean absolute value, and give a global and explicit expression of Rumely's (resultant) function ordResf in terms of the hyperbolic metric ρ on the Berkovich upper half space H1 in the Berkovich projective line P=P(K). We also obtain geometric formulas for Rumely's weight function wf and crucial measure νf on P1 associated to f, as well as improvements of Rumely's principal results. As an application to dynamics, we obtain a quantitative equidistribution of the sequence (νfn)n of fn-crucial measures towards the f-equilibrium (or canonical) measure μf on P1.
