The video tutorial explains the concept of a weighing balance and how it demonstrates the difference in weight between hot and cold air. It begins with an introduction to the weighing balance, followed by a list of materials required for an experiment. The setup involves attaching paper bags to a stick and balancing it on a stand. A candle is used to heat the air in one bag, causing it to rise, demonstrating that hot air is lighter than cold air. The tutorial concludes with an explanation of the results, reinforcing the concept that hot air is lighter than cold air.
