The video tutorial introduces Archimedes' volume discovery, explaining how the volume of liquid displaced by a submerged object equals the volume of the object itself. Through experiments with a ball and a watch, the concept is demonstrated and verified using mathematical formulas. The tutorial also covers partially immersed objects and concludes with a preview of the next video on Archimedes' principle.
