that's easy.. you're online, so you can browse about it first using the internet. 
Getting the 'right' answer is important, but understanding how to solve the problem is just as important, if not more so..#physicsforums

I think no.
the torsion pendulum has a disk suspended to its end that rotates on its vertical axis (the string where it is attached) while the one fixed to a sphere as you say (simple pendulum) swings from side to side (left-right/right-left manner)..
