Below is the list of tables from the database along with their columns and datatype. Need to generate an accurate SQL query for the question.
Only use the columns present in the respective table. Only use the columns which are required to generate the SQL query. Only use table joins if required and not otherwise.

### Tables ###
TABLE: CREATE TABLE table_36040 ( "m/v ft/s" real, "Shell (lb)" real, "Time to ft (m) at 25\u00b0 (seconds)" text, "Time to ft (m) at 40\u00b0 (seconds)" real, "Time to ft (m) at 55\u00b0 (seconds)" real, "Max. height (ft)" real )

### Question ###
What is the maximum amount of time a shell travels at 55 when it traveled less than 9.6 seconds at 40 ?

### Accurate SQL ###

SELECT MAX("Time to ft (m) at 55\u00b0 (seconds)") FROM table_36040 WHERE "Time to ft (m) at 40\u00b0 (seconds)" < '9.6'
