Answer

Point P is between the maximum where $m = 6$ and the minimum where $m = 6$

Work Step by Step

The maxima are found at the points such that $\phi = m~(2\pi~rad)$, where $m$ is an integer The minima are found at the points such that $\phi = (m+0.5)~(2\pi~rad)$, where $m$ is an integer A maximum is found at the point where $\phi = (6)~(2\pi) = 37.7$ A minimum is found at the point where $\phi = (6.5)~(2\pi) = 40.8$ Point P is between the maximum where $m = 6$ and the minimum where $m = 6$
