σ=m/(πRs)

where s=R/sinα
R=h tanα
R/x = tan α

take a ring of radius r and width dx at a distance x from the vertex of the cone

dm=σ2πrdr/cos α

R
I=∫dm*r2
0

R
I=∫σ2πrdr/cos α*r2
0

R
I=∫σ2πrdr/cos α*r2
0

R
I=σ2π/cos α ∫rdr*r2
0

I=σ2π/cos αR4/4

m/(πR2)sin α . 2π/cos αR4/4

m/sin α . 1 /cos αR2/2

mαR2/sin2α

Check if there are mistakes.. there could be.. ;)
