If the blue gear was spinning at the speed of light, at what speed would the Red gear spin?

What do you mean by 'spinning at the speed of light'.
>>8522160
Roughly the speed your mom reaches on her way to taking my dick
>>8522160
ω1 / ω2 = r2 / r1
assuming that the red one is a third of the blue one:
ω1 = 299792458 m/s
r1 = 3
r2 = 1
899386367 m/s = ω2

i think the gear will melt

OP, you asked the question backwards lmao
The edges of the gears would both be moving the same speed, but the red one completes a rotation more often.
(if we're assuming they're both made of a hypothetical material that can't break or melt and held in place by an immovable object)

This is classically right, however a Lorentz transform has to be made between the reference frames, also OP relativistically the wheel can't be spinning in a way that the tangent velocity is equal/higher than c

>If the blue gear was spinning at the speed of light, at what speed would the Red gear spin?
blue gear never reaches the speed of light because to accelerate the mass of the red gear to the threshold of that velocity requires infinite force.
The question itself presupposed a violation of general relativity therefor OP is a faggot.

The mass at the limits of the radial dimension experience tangential velocity as a function of the angular velocity and the radius. Faggot please kill yourself.
