This information is really quite variable. One pixel is one point on the screen. The same pixel will be wider if you have a lower resoution, and vice-versa.

So, for instance, with a resolution of 800 x 600, 1 pixel is 1/800 of the screen width. You will have to multiply that factor by the actual screen size - this again will be quite different; the user might have a 14", a 17", or a 21" screen, among others. The width, by the way, is the diagonal of the monitor, and it includes the borders where no information is being shown. So, it is best to take your measuring rod and measure the width of a common form.

By the way, one inch is 2.54 cm.

In summary, the units (pixels versus cm.) are really quite incompatible.
