Please consider the following codes :

synchronized(object) {
try {
Thread.sleep(100000);
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
}
}

If this is a code which is executed by a thread, then as far as sleep's specification is concerned, it will not free the lock which is currently on object.

Is it possible to use the "object" to do some other opnerations on it?

Thanks
Arnab

Sorry for leaving some part of the question.
Can we call the synchronized blocks of the object?

Calling sleep() while holding a lock is generally looked at as a Bad Thing.
 
I miss the old days when I would think up a sinister scheme for world domination and you would show a little emotional support. So just look at this tiny ad:
