You would need either a ruler calibrated to your monitor’s dot pitch (say, .25 mm) or one calibrated with with the more commonly used ones.

That means that while 200 pixels is 3 cm on one screen, it could be 2 cm on a higher resolution screen. That means that you can’t make a real-life measuring tool that can measure pixels for different screens. You’d have to make one for each type of screen available.

There’s software available, for all computer operating systems, that does that.
