In the figure below, L=12𝜋2 [H], R and C are unknown. To find out R and C values, an engineer
operated the switches as follows. Initially, the switch S1 was open and S2 was closed. The
circuit has been in DC steady state for a long time for t<0. At t=0, S1 closes and S2 opens.
After this operation, vc(t) was measured: the measured vc(t) was a 2.5 Hz sinusoidal wave for
t>0. (Notice that sinusoidal waves include sine and cosine functions which may have DC
offsets or time delay: Asin(𝜔(𝑡 + 𝜏))+B, or Acos(𝜔(𝑡 + 𝜏))+B)
