You need to do calculations. Presumably what you're building is a beam supported at both ends with multiple point loads distributed along it. You can simplify it by designing for all the load to hang from the centre, which is going to be the highest stress, moving some of the load closer to the supports will be lower stress than that.
What's the span?
What's the load?
What kind of wood?
