There is no way of notifying a particular thread among threads of equal priority. In fact there is no way of notifying a particular thread. We can either notify the object using notify() method in which case any one of the threads will be notified or we can notify all the threads using notifyAll() method waiting on a particualar object in which case any one of the threads will be chosen by thread scheduler to run on availablity of lock but there is no guarantee that a particular thread will run.

If 10 threads are waiting for same priority to access a same resource, at that time the control have a FIFO order by the threads to access a resource.
