The distance s(t) is given by,
`s(t) = 4+3sin(t)`
The average velocity can be found according to following expression,
Average velocity = (Final distance - Initial distance)/Time
Distance at `t = pi/3`
`s(pi/3) = 4+3sin(pi/3) = 4+3(sqrt(3)/2)`
`s(pi/3) =` 6.598 cm
Distance at `t = (7pi)/3`
`s(pi/3) = 4+3sin((7pi)/3) = 4+3sin(2pi +(7pi)/3) = 4+3sin((pi)/3)`
s((7pi)/3) = 6.598 cm
Therefore,
Average velocity = (6.598 - 6.598)/(7pi/3 - pi/3)
= 0 `cms^(-1)`
The average velocity is 0 cm/s
