The beam would fail at point D. or should i say loose support at point D the circle supporting it would shoot out when the beam would bend do to the 2 forces acting on it. Assuming the triangle support is inside a niche in the beam as shown on the diagram. If it is not and it is just resting on top of the triangle support then both points A and B would fail as the beam bends do to the forces applied to it. The triangle would topple and the circle would shoot out. Or part A would slide down the triangle and beam would slide moving the circle inwards but if force is still apllied after that happened the circle would still shoot out.

Again, don't over think it. Just by looking at the diagram, where does your common sense tell you the long thing will break given enough load?
If the supports dont matter then the beam will brake at the 2 middle points i think b and c if the force applied to those points is equal. The beam will look something like this afterwwards \___/

Thank you for that Taz. Only the experts can understand evolution, it defies common sense!
No evolution is simple and completely logical its just some people have more common sense then others.
But there are things that dont go well with common sense like say speed. Everything you pushed in life goes faster, but if you would travel at the speed of light and push something it would not go faster because it cant.
There are allot of things people believe that go tottaly against common sense like magic men in the sky managing the world. Like you know why earthquakes happen but when an earthquake hits Japan and fucks up their nuclear power plant suddenly that was magic-mans doing. And when they pull a little girl out from under some rubble after 7 days its magic man again he saved her it wasent just dumb luck or because he had the sense to hide under the door frame when she felt the earthquake, and all the rescuers and helpers, and their trained dogs had nothing to do with saving her life it was all magic man praise him.
