The specific weight of a system is defined as the weight per unit volume (note that this definition violates the normal specific property-naming convention). Is the specific weight an extensive or intensive property?

Specific weight of a substance is independent of mass, that is if we take a substance of 10kg in one jar and again if we take the same substance of mass 15kg in another jar its specific weight remains same in case of both the jars.

Any property which is independent of its mass is called as intensive property hence specific weight is an intensive property.
