What is the maximum magnitude of the friction force in a given scenario?

Product of the normal force and the coefficient of friction

Product of the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity

Product of the mass of the object, the acceleration due to gravity, and the coefficient of friction (correct)

Product of the mass of the object and the coefficient of friction

Is the coefficient of friction a function of mass or volume?

No, it depends only on the mating materials and testing conditions (correct)

It depends on mass but not on volume

It depends on volume but not on mass

Yes, it depends on the mass and volume of the object
