What is the maximum span on a double 2x12 beam supporting 2x8 ceiling rafters and an acoustical ceiling?
Depends on the area above the ceiling joists. Is it a live load (living space) or dead load (just the joists with maybe an attic above)? Also, the length of the ceiling joists from the last bearing point is a factor. How much weight is bearing on the beam is the critical issue.

How much weight can a ceiling bracket hold?
The weight a ceiling bracket can hold depends on the type of bracket and where it is placed. A solid metal bracket secured into a ceiling joist can hold quite a lot of weight. A smaller, weaker bracket or one that is secured only into sheet rock should only hold about a pound. A bracket that expands after installation should be used when not securing to a joist for heavier loads. Otherwise, the bracket may break or pull through the sheetrock. Check the bracket packaging for weight limits on the bracket itself.

How much weight can your floor hold?
all depends how the floor is constructed and the size of the joists, the span of the joists, thickness of floorboards. Is it a concrete floor. Is it a 'live' load like people of furniture or a 'dead' load like an unsupported wall. It the house an old building or of recent construction. A residential standard suggests 40lb per square foot. Needs confirmation though
