The video tutorial explains how simple machines, like screwdrivers and pulleys, multiply effort force. It introduces the concept of mechanical advantage, which is the factor by which a machine multiplies the effort force. The tutorial provides examples, such as an inclined plane and a pulley system, to illustrate how mechanical advantage is calculated using the formula: resistance force divided by effort force. The video concludes with a brief mention of different types of simple machines.
