= Solution

A cross-section perpendicular to the <rotation> axis is a <disk> of <radius> $\sin x$. <Disc integration> therefore gives
$$
V=\pi\int_0^\pi\sin^2x\,dx
=\frac\pi2\int_0^\pi(1-\cos2x)\,dx
=\boxed{\frac{\pi^2}{2}}.
$$
The result is in cubic coordinate units; the full <rotation> is already accounted for by the disk <area>.
