Where l is the length of the pendulum, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
introduced by Einstein (1917) into the equations of general relativity to allow a steady state cosmological solution to the Einstein field equations. The constant was introduced before the concept of the Big Bang had been conceived, so an expanding or contracting universe was regarded as physically implausible, leading Einstein to add 
The increase in mass increases the gravity, but the force of gravity is governed by the value of the universal constant of gravitaton, which is very low (6.67 x 10-11). For the second part of your question, the increase in mass can be calculated to be about 7 times from the equation mentioned above.

The centre of the Earth is around 6000 degrees Celsius - easily hot enough to melt rock. Even a few kilometres down, the temperature can be over 250 degrees Celsius if the Earth's crust is thin. In general, the temperature rises one degree Celsius for every 30 - 50 metres you go down, but this does vary depending on location
In volcanic areas, molten rock can be very close to the surface. Sometimes we can use that heat.
Geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years in some countries for cooking and heating.
The name "geothermal" comes from two Greek words: "geo" means "Earth" and "thermal" means "heat".
