Answer 1

In one SQL*Plus session run this:
DECLARE
    n   NUMBER := 0;
    idx NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
    LOOP
        n := dbms_sql.native;
        dbms_lock.sleep(10);
        idx := idx + 1;
        EXIT WHEN idx > 100;
    END LOOP;
END;
/In another SQL*Plus session (AS SYSDBA) execute this:
SQL> grant execute on dbms_sql to public ;
grant execute on dbms_sql to public
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04021: timeout occurred while waiting to lock object SYS.DBMS_SQL
