The video tutorial explains how to calculate the spring constant and the period of oscillation for a spring system. It begins with a problem setup involving a spring stretched by a mass, leading to the calculation of force using the weight formula. The tutorial then demonstrates solving for the spring constant using Hooke's Law and concludes with calculating the period of oscillation using the formula for the period of a mass-spring system.
