One line answer:

return LocalDate.parse("06/02/2018",DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy")).getDayOfWeek().name();

Usage Example:

public static String getDayOfWeek(String date){
  return LocalDate.parse(date, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy")).getDayOfWeek().name();
}

public static void callerMethod(){
   System.out.println(getDayOfWeek("06/02/2018")); //TUESDAY
}
