Two particles are oscillating in $SHM$ along two very close parallel paths such that they have the same mean position. The equations of $SHM$ for the two particles are $x_1 = A \sin \omega t$ and $x_2 = A \sin(\omega t + \phi)$ respectively. If the maximum distance between them is $\frac{6A}{5}$,then $\phi$ is equal to ..... $^o$.
