1. **State the problem:** We are given the diameter $D=11.6$ m of a sphere and need to find its volume $V$.
2. **Formula:** The volume of a sphere is given by
$$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$
where $r$ is the radius of the sphere.
3. **Find the radius:** The radius is half the diameter,
$$r=\frac{D}{2}=\frac{11.6}{2}$$
4. **Simplify radius:**
$$r=\cancel{\frac{11.6}{2}}=5.8$$
5. **Calculate volume:** Substitute $r=5.8$ and $\pi=3.14$ into the volume formula,
$$V=\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5.8)^3$$
6. **Calculate $r^3$:**
$$5.8^3=5.8 \times 5.8 \times 5.8=195.112$$
7. **Calculate volume:**
$$V=\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 195.112$$
8. **Multiply constants:**
$$\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 = \frac{4 \times 3.14}{3} = \frac{12.56}{3} = 4.1867$$
9. **Final volume:**
$$V=4.1867 \times 195.112 = 816.7$$
10. **Round to nearest tenth:**
$$V \approx 816.7 \text{ m}^3$$
**Answer:** The volume of the sphere is approximately $816.7$ cubic meters.
