The video tutorial explains how to calculate internal forces in a truss assembly using the method of sections. It begins with a problem statement involving a 20K Newton force and focuses on finding internal forces in members BD and CD. The tutorial covers drawing a free body diagram, isolating a section of the truss, and applying equilibrium equations. It concludes with solving for the forces in BD and CD, determining whether they are in tension or compression, and provides a preview of a more complex problem in the next video.
