A heavy ball of mass $M$ is suspended from the ceiling of car by a light string of mass $m (m << M)$. 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
