This video tutorial covers the concept of free undamped motion in a spring system, also known as simple harmonic motion. It explains the setup of a spring system, the formulation of a linear second-order homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients, and the process of solving it using characteristic equations. The video also demonstrates finding the particular solution using initial conditions and calculating the period and frequency of the motion.
