Answer:

Static friction depends on the mass of the object.

Explanation:

Friction is the force between two surfaces in contact. The force of friction between two surfaces in contact depends on;

1) nature of the object and the surface(how rough or smooth the surfaces are)

2)surface area of the object and the surface

3) mass of the object

Since;

F=μmg

Where;

μ= coefficient of static friction

m= mass of the object

g= acceleration due to gravity

Hence, as the mass of the object increases, the magnitude of static friction force between an object and a surface increases and vice versa.
