I got:

V = Square root (1-(48/60)^2 (c)
=60,000,000

Is that correct?

No, that's not right. You need to both square (Mo/M), and then take the square root of
(1-(Mo/M)^2). It doesn't seem like you did that correctly. At least that's what it looks like to me.

M0 is 48 and M is 60 the speed of light is 3x10 to the power of 8, insert everything in the equation and solve for v and you'll have the answer lol.
