Abstract
It is pointed out that a term was overlooked in the derivation of the equation of motion for a thin flux tube by Spruit (1981). The correction to be applied in an inertial frame and in a rotating frame are discussed. This correction makes the formulation self-consistent, though it does not invalidate the qualitative results obtained by various investigators who have used Spruit's equation.
