Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the pendulum (the combination of the sphere and the massless rod).  There are three forces on the pendulum:

Weight force mg at the center of the sphere,

Reaction force in the x direction at the pivot,

Reaction force in the y direction at the pivot.

Sum the torques about the pivot O.

∑τ = I d²θ/dt²

mg (L sin θ) = I d²θ/dt²

For small θ, sin θ ≈ θ.

mg L θ = I d²θ/dt²

Since d²θ/dt² is directly proportional to θ, this fits the definition of simple harmonic motion.

If you wish, you can use parallel axis theorem to find the moment of inertia about O:

I = Icm + md²

I = ⅖ mr² + mL²

mg L θ = (⅖ mr² + mL²) d²θ/dt²

gL θ = (⅖ r² + L²) d²θ/dt²
