The video tutorial explains how to determine the center of mass for both discrete particles and continuous mass distributions. It begins by discussing particles with different masses and positions, then introduces the concept of the center of mass as a point with x and y components. For discrete particles, the center of mass is calculated using weighted averages of positions. For continuous distributions, such as a metal plate, the center of mass is determined using integrals, considering density and infinitesimally small areas.
