∙ 14y agoThink about your arm. Stick it straight out, and imagine a string going up your arm, one end attached to your wrist, the other attached to your shoulder. Now, imagine pulling the string from the center. This would cause your wrist to come up, and your arm to bend, right?
If you can understand that analogy, then it's easy. If the string was loose, or elastic, then your arm would not be forced to bend.
