Answer

$P = 0$

Work Step by Step

When the phase difference is $~~\pi~rad,~~$ there is fully destructive interference. In this case, the amplitude is zero. We can find the average power: $P = I~A$ $P = \frac{1}{2}\rho~v~\omega^2~s_m^2~\pi~r^2$ $P = (\frac{1}{2})(1.21~kg/m^3)(343~m/s)~(3000~rad/s)^2~(0)(\pi)~(2.00\times 10^{-2}~m)^2$ $P = 0$
