I dont know whether this answer is right or wrong....but,i've still attempted this....

IN THE FIRST LEG OF THE JOURNEY,,ie FROM THE INITIAL POSITION TO THE GLASS PANE .THE DATA IS u=0;v=x(say)ms^-1;t=6secs;

v^2=u^2+2aS,since u=0;   v^2/2a=S 

a=v/t=.....................

IS THE ANSWER 11x/3 m.......

If thats right i will tell u how it solved this....
