The stretching velocity is assumed to vary linearly with the distance along the sheet. Two equal and opposite forces are impulsively applied along the x\-axis so that the sheet is stretched, keeping the origin fixed in the micropolar fluid. The transformed highly non\-linear boundary layer equations are solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme for the transient, state from the initial to the final steady\-state."]
