Derive the junction condition [T_jz] = 0 at a horizontal discontinuity between two media by the same method as one uses in electrodynamics to show that the normal component of the magnetic field must be continuous: Integrate the equation of motion ρdv/dt = −∇ · T over the volume of an infinitesimally thin pill box centered on the boundary (see Fig. 11.7), and convert the volume integral to a surface integral via Gauss’s theorem.
