The motivation to write this book arose from courses we gave to high school science teachers over the past few years. The exchange of ideas with these teachers and with our collaborators at the University were very rich and stimulating. The inspiration for the majority of the experiments on equilibrium and the center of gravity (CG) of bodies came from the excellent works of Norberto Ferreira and Alberto Gaspar. We also thank for suggestions, references and ideas: Norberto Ferreira, Alberto Gaspar, Rui Vieira, Emerson, Dicesar Lass Fernandez, Silvio Seno Chibeni, César José Calderon Filho, Pedro Leopoldo e Silva Lopes, Fábio Miguel de Matos Ravanelli, Juliano Camillo, Lucas An-gioni, J. Len Berggren, Henry Mendell, and Roy Keys, as well as our students at the Institute of Physics with whom we discussed these ideas. Steve Hutcheon read the whole manuscript and suggested many im-provements. My daughter and Eduardo Meirelles helped with the fig-ures. Special thanks are due to the Institute of Physics, to the Institute of Mathematics, to the Grupo Gestor de Projetos Educacionais (GGPE) and to FAEPEX of the State University of Campinas, in Brazil, which provided the necessary conditions for the preparation of this essay.
