Connecting the statistical and macroscopic approaches to irreversible processes

A 5.0-kg block slides from an initial speed of 8.0 m/s to a final speed of zero. It travels 12 m down a plane inclined at 15° with the horizontal. Determine the entropy change of the block-inclined plane-Earth system for this process if originally the block and the inclined plane were at 27 °C. Why did the block stop?
