Let a unit vector \(\hat{\mathrm{u}}=\mathrm{x} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{y} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\mathrm{z} \hat{\mathrm{k}}\) make angles \(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{3}\) and \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\) with the vectors \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{k}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{k}}\) and \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\) respectively. If \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \hat{\mathrm{k}}\), then \(|\hat{\mathrm{u}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}|^2\) is equal to
