$A$ galvanometer of resistance $10 \Omega$ changes its range from $1 \text{ mA}$ to $101 \text{ mA}$ when a resistive wire is connected in parallel. If the resistivity of the material of the wire and its area of cross-section are $1 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \text{ m}$ and $1 \text{ mm}^2$ respectively,then the length of the wire is (in $cm$)
