Answer

Final Answer: The given measurement in scientific notation is \(\boxed{2.01 \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{ML}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The question is asking to convert the given measurement into scientific notation (SN). The given measurement is 0.0020140 mega liters (ML).

Step 2 :In scientific notation, a number is represented as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

Step 3 :The given number is less than 1, so the exponent of 10 in the scientific notation will be negative.

Step 4 :To convert the given number into scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until we get a number between 1 and 10. The number of places we move the decimal point will be the absolute value of the exponent of 10 in the scientific notation.

Step 5 :Final Answer: The given measurement in scientific notation is \(\boxed{2.01 \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{ML}}\).
