The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment where water drops are placed on a coin to observe how many can be accommodated. It explains the concept of cohesion, which allows water to form a dome shape due to surface tension. The tutorial concludes with a challenge to see how many drops can be placed before gravity overcomes the cohesive force.
