Answer 1

2,000 micrometers

Explanation:

Well 10 cm in 50 or so weeks is 0.2 cm per week so you could use mm

Then the measuremet would be about 2 mm per week.

If the measurement is extremely accurate you could consider using micrometres.

There are 1000 micrmetres in 1mm so in 1 week 2,000 micrometres
