It would be taking off from a runway and flying at sealevel.

with zero resistance force and infinite runway space, it doesnt matter how much force it has on it. Since F = mA, without any resistance the acceleration will still always be positive so long as there is thrust and the plane will eventually reach 760 mph.
now, if you had a runway length, or time it needed to get up to speed, THEN you would have a solvable problem

Aircraft won't fly at sealevel, and hitting water at 760mph there won't be much left of the aircraft either, so the question is largely moot. When the bits and pieces of your plane come to rest, thrust is zero.

Don't have a physics degree either but the only way to figure the thrust applied is to know the time component. Thrust is a result of specific impulse applied to mass over a period of time. The shorter the time, the higher the thrust.

I was gonna say the same thing, but I don't have a degree so he worded it better.
