What is the formula for the maximum friction??

$$ F_\text{max} = \mu R $$

What is $\mu$ when talking about friction??

The coefficient of friction.

What is $\mu$ if a surface is described as “smooth”??

$$ 0 $$

If a block is being pushed with a $10\text{N}$ force but there is a $20\text{N}$ max friction, what will happen??

The block will not move.

What is the situation called when a block is being pushed with a $20\text{N}$ force but there is a $20\text{N}$ max friction??

A limiting equilibrium, the block will not move.

If a block is being pushed with a $30\text{N}$ force but there is a $20\text{N}$ max friction, what will happen??

The block will move with a $10\text{N}$ force.
