A person presses a shovel with a force of 600 N. What pressure does a shovel exert

A person presses a shovel with a force of 600 N. What pressure does a shovel exert on the soil if its blade is 20 cm wide and its cutting edge is 0.5 mm thick?

Given:
F = 600 N – the force with which a person presses on a shovel
a = 20 cm = 0.2 m – the width of the shovel blade
b = 0.5 mm = 0.0005 m – thickness of the incisal edge
R – ?
pressure formula: P = F / S, where S is the surface area
to find S = a * b
S = 0.2 * 0.0005 = 0.0001 m ^ 2
P = 600 / 0.0001 = 6,000,000 Pa = 6 MPa
