zero,because average acceleration = \frac{\Delta velocity}{\Delta time}.and over one time period the distance from equillibrium position,               inst. velocity,inst. acceleration remains same so \Delta velocity = 0 and hence average acceleration = 0

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

zero,because average acceleration = velocity/time and over one time period the distance from equillibrium position,
inst. velocity,inst. acceleration remains same so velocity = 0 and hence average acceleration = 0

Thanks and Regards
