A heavy ball of mass \({M}\) is suspended from the ceiling of a 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 \(60~\text{ms}^{-1}.\) When the car has acceleration \(a, \) the wave speed increases to \(60.5~\text{ms}^{-1}. \) The value of \(a,\) in terms of gravitational acceleration \(g\) is closest to: 
1. \(\frac{g}{\sqrt{30}}\)

2. \(\frac{g}{\sqrt{5}}\)

3. \(\dfrac {g}{10}\)

4. \(\dfrac{g}{20}\)
