First Order Differential equation for electrical circuit
I'm confused at the part how 4Vc and 48 cos(60t) are deduced, that's all.

It looks like they are just giving the equation for one case of the values of R, C and the driving voltage source...

I don't get it, either.
The units for R and C should be in ohms and farads, so ##RC = (2 \times 10^3)(5 \times 10^{-6}) = 10 \times 10^{-3} = 10^{-2}## ohms-farads.
It's possible there is a mistake in the published answer.
