It would be 0 #m#/#s^2#

Explanation:

Gravitational acceleration is defined as acceleration felt due to the force experienced towards the center of a body of mass.

So if one is already at the center of the body, or the Earth in this case, you wouldn't accelerate in any direction and thus g would be zero.

And because of g being zero you would also be weightless because Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.

One can now argue that the rest of the Earth around you would cause you to have gravitational acceleration, however because the amount of Earth around you is almost identical in every direction, you would essentially be pulled from every direction, and because force is a vector and all vectors in this case are identical, they cancel each other out and thus you would still have no g.

Hope I helped :)
