The video tutorial explains the power of a motor pump, initially given in kilowatts, and how to convert it to watts. It further elaborates on understanding power as joules per second. The problem involves calculating how much water a pump can raise to a height of 10 meters in one minute, given the power and gravitational acceleration. The tutorial covers the formula for work done against gravity (mgh) and demonstrates solving for the mass of water raised by the pump.
