$A$ heavy ball of mass $M$ is suspended from the ceiling of a car by a light string of mass $m$ $(m \ll M)$. When the car is at rest,the speed of transverse waves in the string is $60 \, ms^{-1}$. When the car has acceleration $a$,the wave-speed increases to $60.5 \, ms^{-1}$. The value of $a$,in terms of gravitational acceleration $g$,is closest to:

  • A
    $\frac{g}{30}$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{10}$
  • C
    $\frac{g}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{g}{20}$
