Lorentz transformation of friction

[YangMills]

In special relativity, velocity dependent forces transform. Let us then consider frictional forces, such as drag, which are velocity dependent in the first order. Do two observers moving relative to a third body measure different frictional effects?

Wow -- friction at relativistic speeds. Things are going to get pretty hot!

I don't know the answer to your question, but now I'm curious too. I suppose one place to start is looking at some relativistic version of Stokes' law and determining how it transforms.
