The video tutorial explains how to calculate the buoyant force acting on a wood cylinder submerged in water, which is approximately 1.72 newtons. It then compares this with the measured force needed to hold the cylinder underwater, which is about 0.80 newtons. The tutorial clarifies that the force required to keep the cylinder submerged is the buoyant force minus the gravitational force on the cylinder, calculated to be around 0.79 newtons, closely matching the measured value.
