The problems of the flow of a viscous fluid past a micropolar fluid sphere and the flow of a micropolar fluid past a viscous fluid drop are discussed. The expressions for the stream functions, velocities, spins and the drag are obtained in each case and are compared with the classical (viscous fluid past a viscous fluid sphere) results. It is found that the viscosity ratios and the parameters, which arises in connection with the boundary condition, have significant effect upon the drag on the sphere in each case.
