I am working on a case where a spring foce is applied to the center of wheel . the wheel is pulled by a motor with a rope tied on the wheel.

I know the spring force in the centere of the wheel.
how can i know the centripetla force exerted by it

I do not understand how you drive the wheel or how the spring is mounted.
Can you please provide a diagram of the setup.

Schematic of an orange wheel with a yellow circular spring at its centre, and a wire running tangentially from the wheel's rim to a blue box labelled Motor. Legend: Orange - Wheel; Yellow: Spring.
 
The Spring applies some load to prevent the wheel from rotating lie a brake
Motor pulls the wheel in front direction.
